Every part of my plant is edible: the root, stem, leaves and flowers. I am a very useful plant. In Russia, they use me to make an artificial rubber, but in this country, I am considered a pesky weed. You may have trouble weeding me from your garden because breaking my carrot-like taproot will make me grow a new plant. Some children make a wish and blow and if all my seeds fly off, they believe their wish will come true.
